Perspective

A quote from Andrew Murray:

In time of trouble, say, "First, He brought me here. It is by His will I am in this strait place; in that I will rest." Next, "he will keep me here in His love, and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child." Then say, "He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me lesson she intends me to learn, and working in me the grace He means to bestow." And last, say, "in His good time He can bring me out again. How and when, He knows." Therefore, say, "I am here (1) by God's appointment, (2) in His keeping, (3) under His training, (4) for His time."

I am here
by God's appointment
in His keeping
under His training
for His time.
